Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: uDL2 Config at none against File Explorer & Player's 4. uDL2 Config also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). File Explorer & Player's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 25 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
